that_o god_n speak_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n hereby_o moses_n show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v no_o hide_a doctrine_n and_o that_o man_n can_v not_o allege_v that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o sufficient_a

be_v do_v to_o the_o whole_a multitude_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v choose_v man_n from_o among_o you_o to_o govern_v you_o and_o that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o his_o spirit_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o law_n know_v even_o of_o the_o rude_a and_o most_o ignorant_a 19.8_o psal._n 19.8_o so_o as_o it_o may_v be_v a_o wisdom_n common_a to_o all_o man_n that_o be_v one_o of_o the_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v here_o the_o second_o be_v that_o god_n add_v not_o any_o thing_n more_o after_o those_o ten_o sentence_n wherein_o moses_n do_v the_o people_n to_o understand_v that_o this_o briefenesse_n which_o god_n use_v aught_o to_o encourage_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o speak_v for_o if_o he_o shall_v lay_v great_a volume_n before_o we_o we_o may_v reply_v that_o all_o our_o life_n will_v not_o suffice_v to_o study_v they_o god_n therefore_o be_v not_o overlong_o in_o give_v we_o his_o word_n there_o be_v but_o only_o ten_o verse_n of_o they_o let_v we_o count_v they_o upon_o our_o finger_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v instruction_n enough_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o life_n yea_o &_o herewithal_o moses_n mean_v to_o do_v we_o to_o wit_n also_o that_o see_v god_n have_v give_v we_o such_o a_o sure_a rule_n as_o he_o intend_v not_o to_o add_v any_o whit_n at_o all_o to_z y_z t_z which_o he_o have_v speak_v already_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o hold_v we_o to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o creature_n to_o add_v aught_o unto_o it_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o second_o point_n for_o the_o three_o point_n he_o rehearse_v that_o again_o which_o he_o have_v say_v heretofore_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n in_o set_v forth_o his_o law_n 4.11_o deut._n 4.11_o speak_v from_o out_o of_o the_o cloud_n and_o that_o the_o mountain_n smoke_v and_o that_o there_o be_v flame_n of_o fire_n and_o flash_n of_o lightning_n fly_v to_o

to_o submit_v themselves_o whole_o to_o his_o word_n and_o to_o obey_v the_o same_o these_o be_v the_o three_o notable_a point_n which_o moses_n rehearse_v here_o before_o he_o proceed_v to_o the_o

but_o general_o to_o all_o the_o people_n which_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o make_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n word_n shall_v be_v clear_a and_o certain_a to_o we_o so_o we_o play_v not_o the_o deaf_a

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o charge_v it_o with_o darksomnesse_n again_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o make_v we_o profit_v in_o his_o word_n let_v we_o be_v

of_o god_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n may_v seem_v harsh_a at_o the_o first_o sight_n but_o yet_o it_o import_v good_a doctrine_n we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v always_o desirous_a to_o excuse_v

in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n have_v lay_v it_o upon_o we_o and_o bear_v his_o yoke_n quiet_o but_o contrariwise_o they_o will_v needs_o serve_v god_n after_o their_o own_o imagination_n as_o we_o

to_o consider_v in_o this_o similitude_n which_o moses_n have_v set_v down_o here_o in_o the_o text_n final_o he_o say_v that_o the_o people_n be_v so_o discomfit_v fall_v to_o weep_v but_o god_n

for_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o put_v the_o people_n in_o mind_n of_o their_o long_a abide_n at_o cade_n barn_n because_o god_n hold_v they_o there_o as_o it_o be_v at_o a_o bay_n and_o to_o make_v

to_o establish_v the_o people_n the_o better_a in_o y_z e_z knowledge_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v have_v long_o ago_o concern_v god_n justice_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o same_o may_v

hundred_o pace_n back_o when_o they_o ween_v to_o go_v forewarde_n but_o one_o at_o leastewise_o beyond_o the_o will_n of_o god_n this_o people_n be_v near_o their_o enemy_n they_o do_v but_o put_v

need_v not_o to_o remove_v for_o we_o see_v how_o they_o be_v chase_v and_o not_o only_o beat_v down_o there_o in_o the_o same_o place_n but_o that_o god_n also_o dryve_v they_o before_o the_o wind_n as_o chaff_n or_o dust_n be_v drive_v you_o see_v then_o here_o be_v a_o fair_a lookingglasse_n to_o show_v we_o that_o when_o man_n presume_v to_o make_v themselves_o redoubt_a they_o do_v no_o soon_o set_v one_o foot_n forward_o but_o god_n pluck_v they_o a_o hundred_o league_n back_o and_o that_o to_o their_o great_a confusion_n what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v then_o obedience_n must_v always_o be_v as_o a_o cresset_n unto_o we_o to_o show_v we_o the_o way_n so_o as_o we_o may_v first_o and_o foremost_a know_v what_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o thereupon_o take_v courage_n to_o go_v when_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o guide_v our_o footstep_n for_o thereupon_o we_o may_v bold_o conclude_v that_o the_o end_n thereof_o shall_v be_v good_a and_o that_o there_o shall_v follow_v nothing_o

you_o see_v what_o we_o have_v to_o remember_v upon_o this_o text_n of_o moses_n where_o he_o say_v express_o that_o the_o people_n be_v chase_v even_o unto_o horma_n and_o that_o they_o come_v unto_o

hereunto_o moses_n add_v that_o he_o himself_o have_v be_v as_o a_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n because_o the_o people_n be_v afraid_a and_o dare_v not_o go_v up_o into_o the_o mountain_n whereby_o moses_n do_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o the_o deliver_v forth_o of_o the_o law_n by_o a_o mortal_a man_n ought_v not_o to_o diminish_v the_o authority_n thereof_o and_o why_o because_o the_o infirmity_n of_o the_o people_n require_v it_o that_o be_v their_o fault_n and_o it_o be_v a_o text_n well_o worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v for_o we_o do_v always_o seek_v startinghole_n that_o we_o may_v

thereof_o any_o whit_n at_o all_o and_o in_o deed_n we_o do_v misconsider_v our_o own_o frailty_n when_o we_o desire_v that_o god_n shall_v work_v miracle_n daily_o nay_o very_o we_o can_v tell_v

then_o how_o there_o be_v two_o point_n for_o we_o to_o remember_v in_o this_o text_n the_o one_o be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v natural_o too_o much_o give_v to_o idolatry_n we_o must_v always_o set_v this_o threat_n of_o god_n before_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o take_v not_o upon_o we_o to_o mingle_v any_o thing_n with_o his_o word_n or_o to_o devise_v any_o worship_v of_o image_n

be_o thy_o everlasting_a god_n yea_o even_o the_o strong_a or_o rather_o mighty_a god_n here_o again_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o idol_n for_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o that_o to_o correct_v

of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v commit_v unto_o he_o so_o then_o let_v we_o put_v such_o difference_n between_o the_o live_a god_n and_o all_o the_o idol_n which_o man_n have_v forge_v of_o their_o

we_o must_v so_o stick_v to_o the_o live_a god_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v his_o people_n and_o hearken_v quiet_o to_o so_o much_o of_o his_o will_n as_o he_o show_v we_o by_o his_o word_n as_o

as_o to_o take_v leave_n to_o say_v i_o ween_v this_o be_v good_a and_o why_o shall_v not_o god_n take_v this_o or_o that_o in_o good_a worth_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n have_v no_o warrant_n

the_o true_a majesty_n of_o the_o only_a god_n thus_o much_o concern_v this_o place_n moreover_o moses_n term_v god_n faithful_a to_o show_v that_o like_a as_o afore_o he_o attribute_v strength_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o hebrew_n word_n that_o he_o use_v come_v thereof_o so_o must_v we_o also_o have_v his_o truth_n before_o our_o eye_n and_o in_o our_o rememberaunce_n to_o the_o end_n to_o

immediate_o with_o mercy_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v be_v draw_v unto_o he_o and_o come_v to_o he_o with_o a_o cheerefull_a courage_n then_o be_v it_o not_o without_o cause_n that_o moses_n have_v set_v down_o god_n truth_n here_o of_o purpose_n to_o hold_v the_o people_n in_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o hereby_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o to_o press_v into_o god_n privity_n and_o to_o dispute_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v too_o high_a for_o we_o yea_o and_o utter_o uncomprehensible_a but_o rather_o that_o we_o must_v rest_v upon_o his_o word_n and_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v unto_o us._n true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o point_n that_o god_n choose_v we_o in_o his_o everlasting_a purpose_n â—â—â—_o eph_n â—â—â—_o not_o

holy_a scripture_n show_v us._n
and_o so_o let_v we_o understande_v that_o although_o we_o have_v god_n word_n â—â—â—_o yet_o will_v god_n have_v pity_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v pity_n according_a to_o saint_n paul_n allege_v of_o the_o same_o text_n to_o show_v that_o albeit_o the_o multitude_n of_o people_n to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v be_v never_o so_o great_a yet_o god_n reserve_v who_o he_o list_v to_o

grudge_v at_o it_o but_o have_v we_o know_v that_o will_v we_o be_v assure_v of_o our_o salvation_n we_o must_v resort_v not_o only_o to_o god_n grace_n but_o also_o chief_o to_o y_z e_z promise_n whereby_o he_o utter_v his_o love_n towards_o we_o as_o be_v say_v already_o you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o cause_n why_o moses_n do_v in_o this_o place_n attribute_v the_o title_n of_o faithful_a unto_o god_n be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o when_o folk_n will_v be_v sure_a of_o their_o salvation_n they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o foolish_a imagination_n 1.7_o ro._n 5.10.18_o eph._n 1.7_o but_o look_v unto_o god_n word_n which_o be_v before_o their_o eye_n whereupon_o they_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o rest_v so_o then_o let_v it_o content_v we_o that_o our_o lord_n allure_v we_o to_o he_o and_o that_o the_o death_n &_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n together_o with_o his_o righteousness_n be_v set_v afore_o we_o so_o as_o we_o know_v that_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o may_v be_v

we_o let_v we_o take_v hold_n of_o god_n faithfulness_n which_o moses_n speak_v of_o here_o and_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o god_n offer_v we_o such_o a_o benefit_n to_o deceive_v we_o but_o that_o he_o do_v it_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o our_o misery_n and_o that_o although_o we_o be_v silly_a frail_a creature_n yet_o we_o may_v say_v

like_a to_o such_o as_o hate_v he_o yea_o even_o to_o their_o face_n &_o that_o he_o will_v not_o foreslow_v in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v some_o darksomnesse_n in_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n for_o he_o interchaunge_v the_o number_n god_n say_v he_o will_v yield_v recompense_n to_o such_o as_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n or_o before_o his_o face_n then_o do_v he_o shift_v the_o number_n &_o it_o seem_v that_o whereas_o he_o say_v they_o hate_v he_o to_o his_o face_n he_o mean_v to_o say_v that_o we_o spite_n god_n or_o hate_n god_n to_o his_o face_n when_o we_o fall_v out_o into_o disorder_n and_o be_v so_o rebellious_a as_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o we_o will_v run_v against_o he_o and_o defy_v he_o to_o be_v at_o open_a war_n with_o he_o but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o that_o word_n be_v repete_v twice_o and_o in_o the_o end_n it_o appear_v that_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o face_n of_o the_o transgressor_n no_o doubt_n but_o it_o be_v a_o change_v of_o the_o number_n as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v common_o wont_a to_o do_v therefore_o the_o very_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v requite_v they_o to_o their_o face_n by_o make_v the_o hatred_n to_o turn_v back_o upon_o themselves_o othersome_a take_v it_o as_o though_o it_o be_v speak_v of_o their_o life-time_n that_o god_n will_v not_o only_o punish_v the_o wicked_a and_o the_o despiser_n of_o

though_o it_o be_v say_v y_o it_o whereas_o he_o spare_v the_o wicked_a in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n to_o overthrow_v they_o and_o destroy_v they_o utter_o afterward_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n 12.3_o jer._n 12.3_o that_o god_n pamper_v those_o who_o he_o punish_v not_o out_o of_o hand_n like_z as_o man_n do_v fat_a a_o ox_n or_o a_o swine_n when_o

and_o true_o this_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a lesson_n but_o as_o touch_v the_o present_a place_n if_o we_o read_v all_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n throughout_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o in_o they_o for_o why_o he_o add_v god_n will_v not_o foreslowe_v to_o requite_v they_o that_o hate_v he_o every_o man_n in_o his_o face_n and_o so_o moses_n mean_v in_o effect_n to_o

such_o extremity_n a_o man_n may_v well_o perceive_v y_o it_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v no_o sway_n among_o they_o but_o on_o y_o e_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v y_z t_z the_o highpriest_n

even_o when_o they_o be_v but_o hear_v of_o now_o beside_o our_o lord_n chastise_v of_o such_o as_o have_v offend_v he_o do_v also_o make_v we_o to_o hear_v of_o his_o justice_n by_o his_o word_n in_o that_o the_o threat_n of_o his_o law_n be_v daily_o rehearse_v unto_o we_o and_o in_o that_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o example_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n concern_v

wrought_v in_o the_o punish_n of_o murderer_n thief_n blasphemer_n perjurer_n advouterer_n and_o whoremonger_n yet_o ought_v we_o not_o to_o be_v so_o blockishe_a as_o to_o take_v no_o heed_n by_o it_o but_o now_o see_v that_o god_n by_o stretch_v out_o his_o arm_n after_o that_o fashion_n against_o the_o transgresser_n of_o his_o law_n and_o ordinance_n do_v put_v we_o in_o mind_n that_o his_o

we_o may_v apply_v they_o to_o our_o own_o use_n &_o learn_v by_o they_o to_o live_v in_o awe_n that_o no_o such_o act_n may_v be_v commit_v among_o us._n for_o he_o say_v not_o here_o that_o the_o punish_v of_o misdeed_n shall_v be_v to_o the_o end_n that_o man_n shall_v only_o condemn_v they_o in_o word_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v be_v afraid_a and_o do_v no_o more_o so_o and_o that_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o worthy_a to_o be_v well_o note_v for_o we_o bear_v ourselves_o in_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o we_o to_o have_v condemn_v a_o crime_n and_o to_o have_v like_v well_o of_o the_o justice_n that_o be_v execute_v for_o it_o o_o say_v we_o he_o deserve_v it_o right_n well_o we_o condemn_v a_o other_o man_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o we_o ourselves_o be_v oftentimes_o more_o faulty_a than_o he_o but_o god_n will_v have_v every_o man_n to_o be_v his_o own_o judge_n therefore_o when_o we_o see_v offence_n punish_v let_v we_o be_v afraid_a and_o let_v we_o restrain_v ourselves_o that_o no_o such_o thing_n be_v do_v among_o we_o any_o more_o you_o see_v then_o that_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o we_o have_v to_o

conceive_v a_o better_a kind_n of_o fear_n that_o be_v to_o wit_v a_o reverend_a awe_n of_o god_n to_o say_v the_o truth_n the_o only_a fear_n which_o we_o have_v of_o punishment_n will_v not_o suffice_v it_o be_v too_o slender_a a_o thing_n and_o god_n shall_v be_v too_o ill_o serve_v at_o our_o hand_n if_o there_o be_v none_o other_o end_n yet_o nevertheless_o because_o of_o our_o infirmity_n the_o punishment_n that_o be_v execute_v aught_o to_o be_v as_o provocation_n unto_o we_o to_o live_v in_o the_o more_o awe_n good_a reason_n will_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v go_v before_o and_o that_o the_o reverence_n which_o we_o bear_v unto_o he_o shall_v breed_v a_o earnest_a desire_n in_o we_o to_o fashion_v ourselves_o all_o whole_o to_o his_o righteousness_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v slothful_a and_o slow_a god_n vouchsafe_v we_o this_o help_n for_o our_o weakness_n that_o we_o may_v take_v warning_n to_o amend_v by_o all_o the_o punishment_n which_o he_o execute_v alas_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o go_v make_v war_n wilful_o against_o god._n i_o know_v by_o such_o a_o example_n which_o he_o have_v give_v i_o that_o he_o abhor_v such_o a_o crime_n and_o shall_v i_o now_o run_v headlong_o into_o it_o be_v it_o not_o a_o open_a fight_v against_o he_o if_o i_o shall_v deal_v so_o against_o all_o wit_n and_o reason_n you_o see_v then_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v restrain_v by_o the_o chastisemente_n which_o god_n execute_v and_o that_o the_o fear_n of_o he_o ought_v to_o bear_v such_o sway_n in_o we_o as_o to_o make_v we_o endeavour_n to_o fashion_v ourselves_o according_a to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o his_o good_a will_n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o punishment_n that_o

to_o my_o neighbour_n the_o shame_n thereof_o must_v light_v upon_o myself_o we_o see_v as_o now_o whereat_o god_n aim_v like_a as_o when_o he_o set_v down_o the_o law_n concern_v woman_n with_o

else_o there_o be_v no_o order_n or_o reason_n in_o nature_n and_o why_o for_o let_v we_o always_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o ground_n which_o god_n have_v set_v down_o in_o nature_n namely_o that_o

there_o in_o his_o own_o person_n see_v then_o that_o god_n word_n be_v so_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o so_o preach_v unto_o we_o be_v they_o not_o to_o be_v reject_v

receive_v their_o correction_n and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o they_o it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n that_o he_o himself_o shall_v be_v hear_v and_o obey_v when_o he_o speak_v with_o his_o own_o

moreover_o if_o magistrate_n and_o judge_n be_v call_v here_o of_o god_n yea_o and_o express_o command_v by_o he_o to_o punish_v the_o disobedience_n that_o be_v commit_v against_o earthly_a father_n

be_v instruct_v of_o god._n but_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o we_o must_v observe_v the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o possess_v afore_o hand_n with_o overween_a as_o a_o great_a sort_n be_v which_o think_v themselves_o wise_a enough_o to_o judge_v &_o receive_v no_o more_o of_o god_n word_n than_o be_v to_o their_o own_o like_n let_v we_o beware_v of_o such_o devilish_a pride_n and_o let_v we_o subdue_v all_o our_o wit_n to_o god._n and_o we_o must_v also_o understande_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o conceyve_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v deliver_v unto_o we_o in_o his_o name_n and_o from_o he_o unless_o he_o himself_o enlighten_v we_o for_o we_o be_v blind_a wretch_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o rudeness_n and_o beastliness_n god_n therefore_o must_v in_o this_o case_n work_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o we_o read_v the_o holy_a scripture_n or_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n declare_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o seek_v to_o be_v edify_v thereby_o and_o not_o go_v about_o to_o satisfy_v our_o own_o lust_n and_o foolish_a appetite_n as_o many_o people_n do_v which_o unhalowe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o they_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o many_o unprofitable_a question_n and_o think_v that_o they_o have_v do_v much_o when_o they_o show_v themselves_o subtle_a but_o god_n will_v that_o his_o word_n shall_v profit_v we_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v express_v in_o our_o life_n let_v we_o remember_v those_o two_o point_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v by_o experience_n that_o our_o lord_n protest_v not_o in_o

to_o god_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n require_v and_o allow_v he_o do_v declare_v it_o in_o his_o law_n content_v yourselves_o therefore_o with_o this_o doctrine_n and_o be_v

thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n he_o show_v here_o that_o before_o we_o can_v hear_v god_n or_o keep_v his_o law_n and_o be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o we_o must_v

but_o yet_o we_o must_v come_v to_o this_o point_n of_o convert_n or_o turn_v back_o and_o wherefore_o for_o until_o man_n do_v know_v themselves_o how_o can_v they_o so_o order_v their_o life_n as_o it_o may_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o we_o be_v altogether_o untoward_a and_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o this_o point_n that_o whereas_o we_o have_v be_v like_o stray_a

then_o if_o we_o in_o these_o day_n despise_v so_o great_a a_o good_a turn_n god_n must_v needs_o show_v double_a rigour_n to_o we_o and_o execute_v the_o thing_n which_o moses_n speak_v of_o here_o
